The mixture of styreneic methyl copolymers (SMCs) normal temperature-modified asphalt and styrene-butadiene styrene block copolymer (SBS)-modified asphalt (SMCSBS) compound-modified asphalt was investigated in this study. The viscosity and temperature properties of compound modified asphalt (SMCSBS) were studied by Brookfield rotary viscosity test. Dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and bending beam rheometer (BBR) were used to test SMCSBS compound modified asphalt with different SMC additions. Finally, the microstructure and physicochemical properties of SMCSBS were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and the modification mechanism of the SMCSBS was studied. The results show that the viscosity of the compound-modified asphalt added with SMC is improved, which is conducive to improving its workability. With the increase of SMC content, the high-temperature performance of the compound modified asphalt firstly increases and then decreases with the increase of SMC content. When the content of SMC is 12%, its high-temperature performance is the best. Compared with SBS-modified asphalt, the SMCSBS has better low-temperature performance, and the creep stiffness S and creep rate m of the SMC with different content are better than that of SBS. Finally, the microcosmic characteristics show that the SMC can give full play to its characteristics and can be uniformly dispersed in SBS modified asphalt. SMC is essentially a surfactant, which can reduce the viscosity and construction temperature by changing the surface tension and surface free energy of asphalt molecules. The curing agent of epoxy resin is slowly cross-linked and cured after contacting with air to form a certain strength, thus improving the road performance of the asphalt mixture.

Using the waste pavement materials can not only save resources such as bitumen and aggregate, but also reduce the pollution of environment. In this study, the high temperature performance and the moisture stability of recycled SBS modified asphalt mixture were evaluated by rutting test, immersion Marshall Test and freeze-thaw splitting routine test. In addition, the low temperature performance of recycled modified mixture was also analyzed by Fénix test whose operation was simple. The tests results illustrated that it was advantageous to improve the high temperature performance of recycled mixture and it has less influence on moisture stability with the addition of RAP. However, it had a significant adverse effect on the low temperature performance for recycled SBS modified asphalt mixture with a large quantity of RAP content. Therefore, it suggests that the RAP content for recycled SBS modified mixture is not too high.

Currently, rejuvenator seal which is one of the preventive maintenance methods is more widely used due to its economic benefits and convenience. This paper described the chemical and rheological evaluation of the aged styrene butadiene styrene modified asphalt (ASMA) treated by two rejuvenator sealer materials (RSMs). First the ASMA was rejuvenated by mixing with the RSMs. Then the ASMA and two rejuvenated binders were re-aged by 10h PAV test. At last, the new binder, ASMA, rejuvenated ASMAs, re-aged binders were tested by Dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed that the first aging of the new binder had a significant decrease of the low temperature performance and slight improvement of the high temperature performance. In addition, the high temperature performance increased obviously after 10h PAV test. Two RSMs could significantly soften the aged binder due to increase of maltene content existing in the RSMs, and the rejuvenated binder exhibited a better low performance after the 10h PAV test. However they cannot restore the low temperature completely because that RSMs cannot remedy the degradation of SBS modifier and remove the carbonyl produced in the aging progress.

Prone to low temperature cracking of asphalt pavement problems in cold areas, testing BBR on 70# base asphalt and 4 kinds of different dosage of SBS modified asphalt, testing TSRST on their mixture to appraisal the low temperature performance of SBS modified asphalt mixture. Results show that compared with the temperature stress of internal cracks of base asphalt and SBS modified asphalt mixture not rise significantly. But the stress of SBS asphalt mixture growing slow and the temperature of cracking reduce obviously; it means the low temperature performance improved. This shows that SBS improves the toughness and reduced the modulus of asphalt mixture in low temperature, rather than increasing the tensile strength of mixture specimens.

Although the aging asphalt and its regeneration were researched by many researchers, the poor low-temperature performance of regenerating asphalt has still not been solved yet. In this project, the composite technology of regeneration and modification will be used to solve the problem mentioned above. Through the investigation and analysis on the composite mechanism of regeneration and modification for aging asphalt, the objective of the project attempts to explore a method for the synchronized recovery of high- and low-temperature performance of aging asphalt. The research results show that the single regenerating technology cannot fully recover the low-temperature performance of aging asphalt, and the composite technology of regeneration and modification can make the performance of aging asphalt recovery well. The indexes of aging asphalt after composite regeneration and modification have been recovered, which are better than the indexes of 90# asphalt (25°C penetration is 80–100/0.1 mm) and close with the indexes of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified asphalt. The project has demonstrated that the composite technology of regeneration and modification can make the high- and low-temperature performance of aging asphalt recovery well. The research results can obtain better economic and social benefits.

Purpose In order to evaluate the rheological properties of asphalt more comprehensively and effectively, and to explore and discuss the practicability of relevant models in the evaluation of the rheological properties of asphalt. Design/methodology/approach Based on the rheological and viscoelastic theories, temperature scanning, frequency scanning and multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR) tests of different modified asphalt were carried out by dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) to obtain relevant viscoelastic parameters and evaluate the high temperature properties of different modified asphalt. Based on the time-temperature equivalence principle, the main curve was constructed to study the viscoelastic properties of asphalt in a wider frequency domain. The main curve was fitted with the CAM model, and the rheological properties of different modified asphalt were evaluated through the analysis of model parameters. The creep stiffness and creep velocity of different modified asphalt were obtained through the rheological test of bending beam (BBR), and the low-temperature performance of different modified asphalt was analyzed by using Burgers model to fit the creep compliance. Findings The results show that the high temperature rheological properties of several modified asphalt studied in the test are ranked from best to worst as follows: PE modified asphalt > SBS modified asphalt > SBR modified asphalt. Short-term aging can improve the high temperature performance of asphalt, and different types of modifiers can promote or inhibit this improvement effect. Based on BBR test and Burgers model fitting analysis, SBR modified asphalt has the best low temperature performance, followed by SBS modified asphalt, while PE modified asphalt has poor low temperature performance, so it is not suitable to be used as road material in low temperature area. Originality/value Combined with effective evaluation methods, the rheological properties of asphalt at different temperatures and angles were systematically evaluated, and the evolution of rheological properties of asphalt characterized by model parameters was further analyzed by advanced model simulation.

To uniform the evaluation indicators of Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) modified asphalt, the SK70# and SK90# matrix asphalt were modified by different SBS modifier dosage in this study. The test methods in China and Superpave were used to test the performance of each SBS-modified asphalt respectively, from which the appropriate evaluation index of SBS-modified asphalt was determined. The results showed that the addition of SBS modifier improved the high temperature performance and lowered the temperature sensitivity of asphalt binder, while it increased the viscosity of asphalt binder in high temperatures. Due to the variability that appeared in the results of the penetration test by the swelling of SBS-modified asphalt, the penetration test was not recommended to evaluate the performances of SBS-modified asphalt. The softening point of SBS-modified asphalt with the modifier dosages of 4.5%, 5%, 5.5% and 6% increased 5.7%, 12.8%, 22.5% and 26.4% respectively compared to the matrix asphalt for SK70# matrix asphalt, and increased 21.2%, 26.3%, 33.6% and 46.6% respectively compared to the matrix asphalt for SK90# matrix asphalt. The effect of SBS-modifier on the softening point of SK90# matrix asphalt is significantly better than that of SK70# matrix asphalt. The improvement effect of SBS modifier on low temperature performance of matrix asphalt decreased with a decrease in test temperature. When studying the influence of the SBS modifier on the low temperature performance of asphalt binder, it was recommended to use the bending beam rheometer (BBR) test to evaluate the low temperature performance of SBS-modified asphalt.

Abstract Different binder content to RAP Regeneration SBS modified asphalt mixture for road performance to SBS modified asphalt (I-D type) as an index, determine the optimum dose of new heat regenerating agent and different RAP regeneration, and prepared different recycled asphalt, which have differences in RAP content. The performance of recycled asphalt mixture with different RAP content was evaluated by freeze-thaw splitting test. Rut test and Low temperature trabecular bending test. The correlation between RAP content and pavement performance was analyzed by grey system correlation analysis method. According to the experimental verification results, it can be known that increasing the content of RAP material can improve the high-temperature performance of reclaimed asphalt, but will result in a qualitative decrease in low-temperature performance and water temperature, but the above-mentioned performance can reach the required level, Shows that new heat regenerators play a role in the road performance of RAP materials, and for the RAP material utilization ratio of more than 50%, as for the gray correlation analysis, it can be found that there is a close correlation between the low-temperature performance of recycled asphalt mixture and the content of RAP material. The low temperature cracking resistance of asphalt mixtures will change significantly due to the slight changes in RAP materials.
